The spin modulation is proposed with modulating frequency and amplitude simultaeously, and realized with the array sturcture easily located due to the nanometer size of the spintronics oscillator. In this paper, the dual-channel receiver is deisgned for detecting the spin modulated signal. Resultly, we confirmed the dual-channel recevier well detected the data sent through the spintronics oscillator array, and processed up to 200 kbps on each channel. Distance is limited up to 1 cm due to the low level signal under -60 dBm. The realized dual-channel receiver has the size of $56{\times}33mm^2$.

Tag collection is one of the major functions in RFID systems. In this paper, we propose a multichannel slotted-aloha anticollision protocol to mitigate the tag collision problem and improve tag collection performance in active RFID systems. In the proposed anticollision protocol, while an RFID reader transmits commands to multiple RFID tags via a common channel, it receives multiple tag responses over multiple channels simultaneously. We also implemented an active RFID system supporting the proposed anticollision protocol. In experiments with the implemented reader and 60 tags, the proposed dual-channel slotted-aloha anticollision protocol showed a large improvement in tag collection performance compared with the single-channel slotted-aloha anticollision protocol. With 60 tags, the average time spent on tag collection using the dual-channel anticollision protocol was 600.543 ms, which was 46.3% of the 1289.721 ms required using the single-channel anticollision protocol.

The conventional best relay selection based on all the channel information for the first and second hops in dual-hop systems has a large consumption of resources for channel feedback. In this paper, we analyze the average bit error rate for partial relay selection based on the channel information only for the first hop in dual-hop decode-and-forward relaying systems, where we assume independent Rayleigh fading channels. In particular, we provide an exact and closed-form expression for the average bit error rate of M-ary QAM. Also, through numerical investigation, the performance of the partial relay selection is compared with the performance of the best relay selection, and the performance is evaluated for different numbers of relays and various average channel power ratios for the first and second hops.

Excessive heat occurs during semiconductor manufacturing process. Thus, precise control of temperature is required to maintain constant chamber-temperature and also wafer-temperature in the chamber. Compared to an industrial chiller, semiconductor chiller's power consumption is very high due to its continuous operation for a year. Considering the high power consumption, it is necessary to develop an energy efficient chiller by optimizing operation control. Therefore, in this study, a semiconductor chiller is experimentally investigated to suggest energy-saving direction by conducting load change, temperature rise and fall and control precision experiments. The experimental study shows the cooling capacity of dual-channel chiller rises over 30% comparing to the conventional chiller. The time and power consumption in the temperature rising experiment are 43 minutes and 8.4 kWh, respectively. The control precision is the same as ${\pm}1^{\circ}C$ at $0^{\circ}C$ in any cases. However, it appears that the dual channel's control precision improves to ${\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$ when the setting temperature is over $30^{\circ}C$.

In dual-hop relaying systems, the conventional partial relay selection is based on the channel information only for the first hop. On the other hand, the efficient partial relay selection is based on the channel information for the hop with the minimum of the average channel powers for the first and second hops at each end-to-end link since the correlation coefficient between the end-to-end link quality and the link quality of the hop with the minimum of the average channel powers for the first and second hops is larger than that between the end-to-end link quality and the link quality of the other hop. In this paper, the outage probability of the conventional partial relay selection and the efficient partial relay selection in dual-hop decode-and-forward relaying systems is analyzed for non-identically distributed Rayleigh fading channels. Through numerical investigation, the outage performance of the efficient partial relay selection is compared with the outage performances of the conventional partial relay selection and the best relay selection based on all the channel information for the first and second hops.

In this paper, we describe the implementation and performance of a dual-mode Software Define Radio (SDR) smart antenna base station system. SDR technology enables a communication system to be reconfigured through software downloads to the flexible hardware platform that is implemented using programmable devices such as Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), and microprocessors. The presented base station channel card comprises the physical layer (pHY) including the baseband modem as well as the beamforming module. This channel card is designed to support TDD High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) as well as Wireless Broadband Portable Internet (WiBro) utilizing the SDR technology. We first describe the operations and functions required in WiBro and TDD HSDPA. Then, we explain the channel card design procedure and hardware implementation. Finally, we evaluate WiBro and TDD HSDPA performance by simulation and actual channel-card-based processing. Our smart antenna base-station dual-mode channel card shows flexibility and tremendous performance gains in terms of communication capacity and cell coverage.

본 논문은 UWB(Ultra Wideband) 펄스 기반의 단일 송수신을 통한 UWB 레인징 시스템에서 거리산출의 모호성을 제거하고 그 성능을 향상시키기 위한 듀얼윈도우처리기법을 새롭게 제안한다. 일반적으로 UWB 레인징시스템은 UWB 전송펄스의 높은 시간분해능을 이용하여 거리를 산출하는데, 비가역성(Non-coherent) UWB 송수신기 구조에서는 신호가 언제 수신 될지 모르는 정보 표본값들로부터 최초도착 성분을 추출하게 되고 이로 인해 거리산출오차가 크게 발생되어 진다. 실내무선채널환경(CMI)의 UWB 레인징 시뮬레이션 결과 본 논문에서 제안된 듀얼윈도우처리기술을 적용 시 1m 거리산출 확률오차기준으로 대략 98% 정확도를 보인 반면에 그렇지 않은 경우는 75%이하의 레인징 정확도 성능을 나타낸다

During the last decade, the multitude of advances attained in terminal computers, along with the introduction of mobile hand-held devices, and the deployment of high speed networks have led to a recent surge of interest in Quality of Service (QoS) for video applications. The main difficulty is that mobile devices experience disparate channel conditions, which results in different rates and patterns of packet loss. One way of making more efficient use of network resources in video services over wireless channels with heterogeneous characteristics to heterogeneous types of mobile device is to use a scalable video coding (SVC). An SVC divides a video stream into a base layer and a single or multiple enhancement layers. We have to ensure that the base layer of the video stream is successfully received and decoded by the subscribers, because it provides the basis for the subsequent decoding of the enhancement layer(s). At the same time, a system should be designed so that the enhancement layer(s) can be successfully decoded by as many users as possible, so that the average QoS is as high as possible. To accommodate these characteristics, we propose an efficient transmission scheme which incorporates SVC-aware dual-channel repetition to improve the perceived quality of services. We repeat the base-layer data over two channels, with different characteristics, to exploit transmission diversity. On the other hand, those channels are utilized to increase the data rate of enhancement layer data. This arrangement reduces service disruption under poor channel conditions by protecting the data that is more important to video decoding. Simulations show that our scheme safeguards the important packets and improves perceived video quality at a mobile device.
